In an effort to prosecute P2P users, RIAA and PAA have reportedly started to create decoy users: they articipate in P2P networks in order to identify illegal sharing f content. This has reportedly scared some users who are afraid of being caught. The question we attempt to answer is how revalent is this phenomenon: how likely is it that a user will run into such a fake user and thus run the risk of a lawsuit? The rst challenge is identifying these fake users. We collect this information from a number of free open source software projects which are trying to identify such IP address ranges by forming the so-called blocklists. The second challenge is running large scale experiment in order to obtain reliable and diverse statistics.

1.3. Advanced Preferences (IP filter).
If you click on preferences, you will see an entry that says “IP rules” (shown in above image).Click on that and make sure that “enable IP filter file” is checked. BitComet takes its blocklist from a file called ipfilter.dat which can use lists from Blocklist Manager or PeerGuardian (use the following to convert format from a PeerGuardian Blocklist to one compatible with BitComet) but it is also easy to manually add entries on the fly. any simple text editor like notepad will do it.
